Dr. Yang has completed an extensive amount of research into a number of different interests. He has studied the development of molecular markers for the early diagnosis of lung cancer, the molecular biology of mesothelioma, the detection of telomerase activity to detect the presence of lung cancer and finally, the development of molecular markers for early diagnosis of recurrent lung cancer after surgical resection.

Dr. Yang's clinical work, similar to his research, focuses on a number of lung and chest related areas. Dr. Yang has also spent time clinically studying the surgery, early diagnosis and detection of esophageal cancer as well as neoadjuvant therapy, a preoperative multi-modal treatment combining chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

A number of scholarly articles have been authored or co-authored by Dr. Yang and published in a variety of prestigious medical journals, including the Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Care Network and the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
